During guided reading groups and while working with individual students, I have often wished for a way to bring our class anchor charts right to the students. So, this summer I told my husband and sons what I wanted, and they had a "friendly" little contest to see who could come up with the best design. This little stand was the hands down winner and designed by my handsome 13 year old son.

The chart stand has been a fabulous help to teach and reinforce students about a particular concept during small group instruction. I can put it right in front of them. I have been thrilled with the response from my little firsties. The plans for this stand are included in my "All About Vowels" packet available in my TpT store.

This is awesome to have this right at your fingertips during guided reading! I need to look into something. Would he be willing to share the dimensions & size of pipe he used? Thanks, Jackiejmcmanam@w-sioux.k12.ia.us

Ah! This is amazing! I'm a Reading Tutor and have a tiny cubicle in the Reading Lab. Now, I know I'm lucky to even have a cubicle in my position (I've tutored in places where you had to grab any free spot you could in the building) but there's not enough room to host things for all of my K-5 groups. This will be a great tool that I can easily take off of my table! Thank you!

My husband is the love of my life and my best friend. I am the mother of five amazing kids, and just added an equally amazing son-in-law to the mix. Summertime at the lake with my family, a good book, and a diet coke make me smile. I have taught first grade for 10 years! Children are my favorite size of people. I relish the magic that occurs each day in a first grade classroom and believe that teachers who love teaching, inspire students to love learning!
